ITEA Magazine 49 - November 2024

Editorial

Dirk Elias & Régis Cazenave

Dear ITEA Innovation Community,

Régis and I are very pleased to bring you our first editorial for the ITEA magazine, which has been sharing news and insights from our programme and projects since 2008. In this edition, you’ll find a wrap-up of the PO Days in Antwerp, a spotlight on our valuable partnership with Canada, and our Community Talk with our ‘Coach' Erik Rodenbach.

But most importantly, we are featuring stories about you and your projects. Régis and I are particularly inspired by the paths taken by the technology you develop within the projects to generate impact in the real and virtual worlds. Whether your work leads to new products, standards, IP, or open-source contributions, that is up to you! What drives us is maximising the impact of your efforts! Our entire ITEA Office team, including Régis and myself, are here to support and listen to you. So, please feel free to reach out anytime with your ideas or feedback.
